Artist picture
Blues guitarist, pianist and keyboard synth player, and composer of neo-classical music. Lead guitarist of Blues-Rock Bands.
I have been a musician - performer and composer - for close to 50 years, and I've been playing guitar for about 42 of those years. I have become mostly a player of Blues as of late and recently was invited to be the lead guitarist of a revived Blues-Rock 60's band. This picture is of me, and yes, Les Paul! And that's my Les Paul Deluxe, which I play along with my Clapton signature stratocaster.

Story behind the song
I briefly had this in Blues genre, but I think it's better suited for Comedy. It's not serious Blues - it's meant to be laughed at! :) This is an Oldie (probably not a goodie) from 1979 - that I recorded on a little cassette recorder with built-in mic with my friend Mark one dark night when we were insane... This is kind of in the spirit of Dylan's "Talking WWIII Blues". I actually wrote this in the summer of 1971 (at the tender age of 19) at home during college, but as I was going through old tapes recently, I found this - um, nugget... and, well, here it is. The sound stinks, we didn't really remember the words too well, I did my best to play ala Dylan and I even ran some Audacity filters over this to get the volume down, etc... There's nothing obscene in this song, but it can get a little crude in parts. It's just for a laugh, and I claim no level of quality or virtue for it. There is one redeeming quality about this recording....it's short.
Lyrics
==The Talkin' Franks and Beans Blues === We's gonna eat some beans. We's gonna chew some franks. We's gonna chew some beans. We's gonna eat some franks. You know them beans are strong, They's gonna eat right through. And when they gets where they's goin' babe, You know what they's gonna do. And that's why we's a sitting here honey, A singin' them Franks and Beans Blues. We's gonna eat some beans. We's gonna chew some franks. We's gonna chew some beans. We's gonna eat some franks. Franks and Beans are here to stay, Them Franks and Beans never go away. When me and you do them Franks and Beans, We fart right through our Levis Jeans. And that's why we's a sitting here honey, A singin' them Franks and Beans Blues. We's gonna eat some beans. We's gonna chew some franks. We's gonna chew some beans. We's gonna eat some franks. Franks and Beans they're for me and you, 'Cause them Frank and Beans they don't make you blue. Everybody on the jailhouse scene, Is really digging them Franks and Beans. And that's why we's a sitting here honey, A singin' them Franks and Beans Blues. We's gonna eat some beans. We's gonna chew some franks. We's gonna chew some beans. We's gonna eat some franks. (Fade off into permanent oblivion...) Copyright 1971-2006 James V. Signorile
